What's Up?

Just a little update on what we are up to these days...

Eric - He is working hard and stressing out. Really, what else would you expect from this guy? He recently opened a new office in a small town about 30 minutes from our house. I think it is going to be a good thing, and he is really enjoying it so far (I think...:)...) He is excited for the collage football season and has been cheering on our beloved Buc
keyes! GO BUCKS! Abbey and Ela are enjoying learning the O-H... I-O chant and Eric is such a proud daddy when they get it right.

Abbey - She started preschool about a month ago and is loving it. She has gotten over the separation anxiety and it has made it much easier on both of us. Her favorite thing to do right now it stay stay up late (REALLY late) and rearrange her bedroom. She makes it in to some sort of "office" - last time it was a dental office and she checked my teeth, so I guess I am good for another 6 months, right? She also enjoys creating "classrooms" where she is the teacher and gives me a lesson or reads me a book. She is a happy and healthy little
girl that is WAY to smart for her age. She cracks me up everyday because she seriousl
y talks like an adult.

Ela - She is two, that's all I have to say... HA! She is talking more and more and mimics everything Abbey does. Her favorite thing right now is Dora and she loves to sing the song "Dowa Dowa de Espowa" at the top of her lungs. She loves to be held and cuddled when she watches cartoons.

Me - I am a mom, that's all!

No, I just completed an online photography class and it was amaz
ing. I learned how much I really didn't know about photography. I joined a gym with a couple of good friends and it has been kicking my butt! I am loving it - such a great way to start the day. I have also been getting my craft on lately and made some pretty cute Halloween decorations:)

We are all looking forward to our upcoming DISNEYLAND vacay with Eric's family - YAY!!! My parents are coming to visit at the end of October - YAY, YAY! A good friend and her sweet boys are coming to visit in November (SO EXCITED!!!) And I just booked our flights to Utah for Christmas! Not a bad way to finish out the end of the year, eh?

And of course, what's a blog post without some pictures of my sweeties? These are both from my recent photog class. Final assignment was to pull it all together and take one great shot. I picked the one of Abbey to share with my class, but the one of Ela is too cute to not share with someone. She is so sick of me taking pictures, can you tell? And I am very proud to say that these are completely unedited pictures:) Well, I cropped the one of Abbey is all.
Wow - they look very orangey on here, huh?

Ela is TWO!!!

Sorry to those of you that would like to have updates from our family, I am SO horrible at blogging! I try and catch the big events from time to time like... ELA TURNING TWO!!! What? My little girl is getting so big:(

Ela is such a funny little girl. She has a very strong personality and is extremely determined. She is the daredevil of our family and is constantly pushing any and every boundary she can. She has started talking more and more since we took her binky away during the days. I have even caught her saying 4-5 word sentences! It amazes me how much she is learning so quickly, but she has a very smart older sister that keep her on her toes. Abbey and Ela can be super sweet to each other, but for the most part, they don't get along. Ela really knows how to push Abbey's buttons to make her cry then quickly run away. I am hoping they will grow out of that soon! I am so thankful for my sweet little girls and the joy the bring to my life!
